I’m actually a little disappointed with the Tories presently, and my expectations are often reasonably low. But given the obvious electioneering nature of this budget I was hoping for an all guns blazing response. Instead there was some whining about stolen ideas, some moaning about Labour having led the country into a recession and a football based analogy on how the country was allegedly in the Premier League in 1997 (really) and is now at the bottom of the Championship. And where is George Osborne’s response to this Budget? Presently Labour may be presenting an over-ambitious budget and, arguably, an over-optimistic outlook on the country’s economic situation but I think that many people will be won over by this rather than the vague-yet-negative response from the Conservative government. ‘Stuck under Brown’ is how Cameron described the economy; well stuck record is how I’d describe Cameron.Kayleigh Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027449084765639830noreply@blogger.com
